Video Summary
AI GeneratedChina has banned four New Zealand lawmakers from entering the country for one year and demanded apologies following their parliamentary visit to Taiwan. The lawmakers and the New Zealand government view this as an intimidation tactic designed to discourage future diplomatic engagement with Taiwan, asserting that such travel is a standard practice consistent with their policies.
Beijing has banned four New Zealand lawmakers from traveling to China for a year and demanded
they apologize. Their offense? Visiting Taiwan on a parliamentary trip.
What I do think is that this is an intimidation tactic to put off future members of parliament
traveling to Taiwan or to other countries that potentially China might not be happy about. So I
think it sends that quite a serious message across and very concerning.
Travel by parliamentarians to Taiwan is a long-standing and appropriate practice
and consistent with our One China policy. Absolutely not. I will not be apologizing
for traveling to Taiwan or traveling anywhere else in the world. It's part of my job as an
representative of New Zealand and I think it is really important that we do have a good
relationship with Taiwan and and the likes of China as well. It's the first time China has
banned New Zealand members of parliament, although it has hit lawmakers from other
countries with sanctions related to contact with Taiwan. Beijing has been increasing pressure in
recent years on the democratically governed island. New Zealand's government said it would
express concern about travel bans to Beijing. Lawmakers in New Zealand decide individually
whether to join delegations traveling abroad.
